Communicating Becomes A Unimportant Skill Dramatization in English classes often aids the students ' under- standing of literature. These English 8 students are watching fellow classmates portray the witch ' s scene in Macbeth. An interested parent takes advantage of Open House to visit Manual ' s living language laboratory and to discuss her child ' s progress with department head, Mr. Millard Arnold. English Honors Day in May which recognizes outstanding work in the department is the topic of conversa- tion for these Booster staffers. Lynn Kinkade, Julie Schulz, and Patty Koopman survey the journalism keys they hope to win for their stories. Awards are given for the best news, jeep, feature, and sports stories.

lino in working- area were two of the Shop Department ' s gains from Manual ' s building program. And larger quarters called for new equipment. Art classes benefited from the new addition— using it as a model for sketching during the nice days of September. Twelve pieces of work by Manual artists were ex- hibited at the John Herron Art Museum in an all-public school show, October 15-29. Some of the art shown was also selected to be displayed at the Indianapolis Hob- by Show in November where four Manualites demonstrated sketch- ing. Drawing I classes participated in the Indianapolis Post Office Mail Early for Christmas poster contest. Redskin Revue program cover and poster contest kept Art Production busy in February. Music Department classes brought a welcome diversion in a day of school books for student members of our musical perform- ing organizations. Beginning in- struments, B-Band, and B-Orch- estra members tooted or fid- dled ' their way toward the A-Band and Orchestra. Choir and Glee Club hopefuls practiced in Girls ' and Boys ' Chorus classes. In Har- mony, pupils learned principles of music construction and even had a chance to try composing. Realism was the byword in the Business Department. New office furniture for the Office Training class gave each girl the type of desk she would have in business life. Office Training; girls, in ad- dition to their class work, process all the forms for department classes and schedules and do work for individual teachers. Home Economics students gain- ed practical skills in preparation for future homemaking. Foods classes prepared and served a luncheon for the Indianapolis pub- lic high school principals, and the meals for the inspecting officers visiting ROTC. Advanced Foods classes dabbled in foreign cookery, while the Boys Foods chefs, not to be outdone, prepared an Italian meal for themselves. Learning to manicure and sham- poo, as well as to apply make-up, kept Social Practice classes busy. A trip to a downtown department store to study decorated rooms highlighted November for Home Management classes. Family Living classes entertained several speakers including minis- ters and a couple who used 48 years of experience in married life to tell the girls about home manage- ment. The style show at the Proj- ects Fair ended the year for Cloth- ing pupils. Gym classes gave us a chance to exercise our bodies as well as our minds. All freshmen take the basic course which includes tumbling, apparatus work, instruction in sports, and dancing for girls. Ad- vanced gymnasts work more in- dividually. Instruction in sports was made more interesting this year with the addition of new film strips and recordings. Seasonal intramurals keep girls busy the year around. Boys play basketball in the winter, and both groups join for bowling. On succeeding pages are scenes from classrooms, laboratories, and shops that picture aspects of our manual of learning. Education for mind, hand, and heart has been Manual ' s motto since its founding in 1895, and those of us who are students aspire to attain this goal.
